Wrasse or tang which one first?

[mushy coral]

Planning to add fish in my coral tank and struggling on which one to add first to avoid aggression. This tank will only hold 2 fishes a tang and a wrasse. For tang it would be a 2inches vampire tang and for wrasse could be a small 1inches sixline, banana wrasse or naoko fairy wrasse. Whats your guys thought on this?

Really doesn’t matter, they won’t bother each other. Dealer’s choice!

It depends on what you want the wrasse for? If it’s pest hunting, then I’d ditch the Naokoae.
If you just want colour then ditch the sixline - it’ll be more issues than you hope.
And finally, if you have a sand bed and want a pest hunter go for the silver belly.

I’d also add the tang later down the line - wrasses can become targets for their aggression, especially if they’re both hunting round the rocks.

Thanks! I think i will go for the sixline. It just fun to watch swim in and out through the rockwork
